...conferees rejected the all-out amendment by the Republicans' Wherry and John Bricker which would direct the President, if he applied any price controls, to apply them all-and along with them, freeze all wages. Instead they gave the President power to impose selective price controls as deemed needed, but with a stern proviso: He must also freeze wages in the industries involved.

He has grown almost impervious to political criticism. He rarely becomes angry at all-and then it is usually when somebody snipes at him through one of his children. The four Roosevelt sons in service help explain the President's great sensitiveness to the casualty lists-always the first thing he asks about when told of a battle.* That sensitiveness, in turn...
